Overview

Halloween 2009 brought back some popular Halloween-related activities from previous years as well as new additions and special items to celebrate the holiday. It was a major part of Publish 62.

Event Loot Items

Special event-themed loot may be found as loot on some monsters:

Trick or Treat

There are 5 new common treats this year. Simply walk up to an NPC and say "Trick or Treat" and then target them.

Beware - NPC's may opt to play a trick on players instead of giving them a treat. However, this year there will be no death involved but players may still be surprised at what can happen.

If you have Grandmaster (100) Begging there is a small chance that you will be given one of two new rare items.

Randomly, a character may suddenly yell out "MAKE IT STOP!"

Tricks

New 2009 Tricks

Instead of an Evil Twin which would attack you in years past, a Naughty Twin may appear which may:

  • Teleport you to a random moongate on same facet.
  • Steal some of your candy
  • Temporarily polymorph you into a Pile of Maggots.

Recurring Tricks

  • No apparent effect (likely a polymorph to human male/female that goes unnoticed) Skin turned pale white for a time and then a message saying "You have returned to your normal form"
  • Bleeding profusely (harmless)
  • Polymorph (as per the Magery polymorph)
  • "Haunted" Each step the player takes will play a random sound.

Mystery Quest

A new quest starting at the Court of Truth in Yew: Speak with Jasper the Inspector there.

  • Can be done completely in either Felucca or Trammel.
  • Every step required in the chain, skipping steps will keep you from completing the event.
  • May be repeated.
  • Participating characters must be 15 days old (except for Test Center).

For full step by step details of this quest (including lots of spoilers) see: Halloween 2009 Quest.

Pumpkin Patch

Farmers are once again harvesting pumpkins this season. Pumpkins can be picked up from most any farm land. Some of them may be double-clicked and thrown as a fire bomb. Additionally, the named pumpkins may be used with the Cooking skill to prepare food items requiring pumpkin. The pumpkins can weigh anywhere from 3-25 stones and very rarely a Jack O' Lantern will spawn.

Jack O' Lanterns

Menacing and Leering, Lit and Unlit

Very rarely, a named pumpkin will spawn as a large Jack O' Lantern with a carved face. They may spawn in a variety of designs and can be locked down in a player's home and left lit or unlit.

Named Pumpkins

Pumpkins are named after devs, GM's and EM's.
